[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know of any places in the DC area that give kids some kind of freebie for good report cards?  For example I know that nationally some locations of McDonald's and Krispy Kreme do but not sure if any DC-area locations participate.  Montgomery County preferred, but would be helpful to hear about elsewhere in the DC area as well.

My 4th grader is making tons of careless mistakes on quizzes and tests and getting a lot of Bs and sometimes Cs, and currently has no motivation to slow down/check her work... she doesn't care about her grades at all and just wants to finish things as quickly as possible.  I would rather avoid starting a direct "your parents care about your grades and will pay you or give you a reward for every A" precedent if possible, for reasons including but not limited to the fact that I think that even with full effort she has some Bs in her future and that's fine with us and not something I want her to feel like we're disappointed in her for. But it's just frustrating to see her get things wrong that I know she'd get right if she was more slow and careful.  So I figured something external that gives a little motivation seems ideal.

Open to other suggestions, though!  Have other people been through situations like this with your kid(s)?  How did you handle it and did anything help?[/quote]

Mom, do you have a pocketbook? If so, every store and restaurant has a rewards program for kids who earn good grades!

If you want a flyer to advertise it, ask chatgpt or Gemini to draw one for you[/quote]
